(Bill O’Reilly)  “I want the truth to be said.” – Spandau Ballet

Many events have occurred after 12 New Yorkers found Donald Trump guilty of “falsifying business records” 34 times. And few of them are good for the country.

Perhaps the worst thing is that the concept of truth once again got bruised and battered in a way injurious to every American.  So, I am here to say the truth about this case fully knowing that most human beings believe what they want to believe – sometimes with little regard for factual reality.  Continue reading →

White House moves to change organ transplant process to consider race

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , ,

(Sentinel Staff) Officials at the United States Department of Health and Human Services said last month they will seek to amend the organ transplant model to prioritize people of certain racial identities.

The proposed organ model “aims to increase access to kidney transplants for all people living with end-stage renal disease” as well as “reduce disparities among individuals undergoing the process to receive a kidney transplant.” Health and Human Services Secretary Xavier Becerra specifically mentioned assisting black patients in a press release about the program.

The U.S. Department of Education Promoting Pride Month is Just the Beginning of the Birth Pangs of God’s Wrath

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , , , , , , , ,

“God will do what He always does. He will bring crushing judgment and wrath to purge the wickedness from the land. In Revelation 18, we see the fall of Babylon, a symbol of the world’s corrupt systems, where God’s people are called to “come out of her, my people, lest you take part in her sins, lest you share in her plagues…” 

(The Dissenter) I’m certainly no prophet, but here’s what’s undeniable—from Genesis to Revelation, the Bible makes it clear that when people reject God and embrace idolatry, His judgment and wrath will inevitably follow. Continue reading →

‘I just have to start with my testimony of Jesus Christ.’ Mormon Glenn Beck Casts Himself as Faithful Believer at ‘Christian’ Men’s Conference

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , , , ,

“If Fearless were a generic men’s conference that Beck was speaking at, that would be one thing. But this event was  specifically and intentionally marketed as a conference for Christians and has every hallmark of being one.”

(Protestia) Noted member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints, Glenn Beck, took to the stage at the Fearless Roll Call 2.0 conference yesterday morning, regaling hundreds of men with tales of George Washington’s escapades while sharing an extended personal testimony that urged his audience to “surrender to Jesus Christ.” Continue reading →

The Chosen creator, Dallas Jenkins, ends a business partnership with a Mormon-owned company over broken agreements

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , ,

(Marsha West – Christian Research Network) If I were a gloater, I’d be gloating over the news that creator/writer/director of The Chosen, Dallas Jenkins, has parted company with Mormon owned Angel Studios. The Angel Studios (AS) team was involved for 8 years in producing the series.  AS never hid the fact that they are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints a.k.a Mormons. Since Dallas Jenkins is a professing Christian, he entered into a business venture fully aware that he was going against God. In 2 Cor 6:14-15 Paul makes it clear that believers are not to partnership with Belial: Continue reading →

God is Love

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Devotion/Teaching

16 And we have come to know and have believed the love which God has in us. God is love, and the one who abides in love abides in God, and God abides in him. 1 John 4:16 (LSB) 

As the elect draw closer and closer to Christ in obedience and fellowship the more and more they will be seen to be identified with Him and will, therefore, be hated by the world, just as He was and just as He said would happen (John 15:18-25). If the visible church has invited the world in and has become so conformed to it that there is no difference, what will happen within these “churches” when the elect within become conformed to Christ as I shared above?… Continue reading →

Christians across the country mobilize to confront ‘pride month’

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

‘Pride’ is a judgment from God and a satanic assault upon people made in the image of God. Almost all of these events directly target children as well. We as a church feel a duty to resist this evil with corporate evangelism.”

(Ben Ziesloft – The Sentinel) Christians across the nation are mounting evangelistic and activist efforts to confront the cultural and political encroachment of “pride month” in their communities.

The annual commemoration of homosexuality and transgenderism has been increasingly recognized by American institutions, from government agencies and large corporations to media outlets and elite universities…. Continue reading →

Do not let your hearts be troubled

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Devotion/Teaching

My dear brothers and sisters in Christ,

We must all be honest and admit that we are in very troubling times. I am not speaking of the political situations all across this globe but am referring to the growing apostasy in the visible church. It seems that for every pocket of genuine believers I run across who are standing on the promises of God and not compromising their faith by buying into pragmatism or mysticism or outright heresy there is another “Christian leader” falling into the ranks of the apostate. Our error is allowing this to drive us to despair and doubt…. Continue reading →

Only One Election Issue Now: ‘Will American People Stand for Becoming a Banana Republic?’

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

“Democrats have been taken over by the violent left. These bad actors have brought you the rivers of humanity over the Southern Border, less security, higher taxes, a dollar that’s not worth a damn, no-limits abortion, ballots mailed out to nobody and everybody, fewer police, groomer teachers, and indulgences of vices never before seen in America. Christ is mocked. Jews are afraid. We pay terrorists to plot against us.” 

(Victoria Taft – PJ Media) What did the Democrats just do to America?

In the sham trial, the activist judge, according to a lawyer in the courtroom, covered his mouth to mask his laugh during the reading of the verdict. The smiling Biden DOJ prosecutor who parachuted into New York to get Trump on the bizarre Letitia James victimless value-inflation case with the AG’s office then hopped over to Manhattan to prosecute Trump based on the plot of a book written by a disgruntled DA who quit and then was rehired to help manage the case: a district attorney, who, like the attorney general, got funded by Soros and then vowed they would get Trump by any means necessary.

United Methodists Lose One Million Members in One Day, After Oversees Contingent Cuts Ties Over Same-Sex Support

(Protestia) In a continued blistering indictment against the destructive and damned United Methodist Church denomination, their largest overseas jurisdiction has voted to cut ties with them over their support of same-sex marriage and all things gay at their General Conference earlier this month, resulting in a loss of over a million members in a single day.

The United Methodist Church in the Ivory Coast (EMUCI), which has been vocal about the denomination’s drift, held an extraordinary session on May 28th and pulled the trigger, casting their votes to disaffiliate “For reasons of conscience before God and His word, the supreme authority in matters of faith and life.” Continue reading →

BREAKING: Manhattan Jury Finds Former President Guilty in Bookkeeping Case

(Victoria Taft – PJ Media) Donald Trump was found guilty today of 34 counts of falsifying bookkeeping records.

There was already little doubt when this trial began on April 15, 2024, with jury selection that this collection of Manhattanites would find Donald Trump guilty. Manhattan voted overwhelmingly for Hillary Clinton in 2016 and Joe Biden in 2020.

As the trial dragged on for weeks, keeping the 2024 GOP candidate on the sidelines, it became crystal clear that Judge Juan Merchan was the prosecution’s plus-one to this party…. Continue reading →

Taylor Swift may be causing her fans to stumble into witchcraft

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , , , , , , , ,

By Marsha West — Christian Research Network

Most Christians understand that witchcraft has its roots in paganism and that God admonishes His chosen ones to resist the temptation to participate in pagan practices. It’s imperative for Christians who hold a biblical worldview to do what God says. But sadly, numerous professing Christians are unfamiliar with what a biblical worldview is. They’re clueless that Scripture is the breathed-out Word of God. (2 Tim 3:16-17) All that matters is that they’re saved. What is willfully ignored is that the Bible is the absolute authority, the “only rule for faith and practice” Christians live by. So, it only makes sense that God’s people commit to read and study the scriptures; likewise, it’s imperative that the Bible comes to be a Christian’s final court of arbitration for making life decisions.

And yet so-called Jesus followers choose to ignore His very words, which are clearly stated in Scripture. Instead, they go through life rarely looking to the Lord for guidance. What they’ve created for themselves is “Have it your way Christianity.” These people see nothing wrong with cooking up a batch of Syncretism Stew that contains ingredients for a plethora of religious beliefs and refer to the odious concoction as “Christianity” or “Evangelicalism.” When a tried-and-true Christian attempts to steer them away from the mess they’ve made of their lives and point them to the Word of God, they become defensive. Since most of these people are unteachable, instead of going to the Holy Spirit inspired scriptures for wholesome ingredients to make a batch of Authentic Christianity, they create a stew lacking spiritual nourishment instead of heart-healthy Truth that sticks to the ribs and virtually guarantees to make believers strong in the Lord.

Which brings me to Grammy-winning singer-songwriter Taylor Swift who’s a professing Christian. I admit that I’m not a “Swifty” fan. And I’m not inclined to listen to her music or follow her on social media (nor do I follow any entertainer). However, a friend insisted that her recent songs contain satanic and witchcraft themes. Hearing this drove me to YouTube where I discovered “Willow.” While I watched the production, I paid close attention to the lyrics so that I could discern whether or not Taylor Swift promotes witchcraft. After viewing that video several times I agree with my friend that “Willow” is teaming with witchcraft themes. Don’t take my word for it. Go to the link *below* and judge for yourself.

John 3:16 in context

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Devotion/Teaching

16 For God so loved the world that He gave His only son that everyone believing in Him should not perish but have life eternal. (John 3:16 translated from the NA28 Greek text)

The first verse I memorized in Sunday School as a child was John 3:16 from the King James Bible. This must have been sometime around 1956-1957 since I did not learn to read until the 1st grade. My mother even had a plaque made with that verse on it and put it on the wall over my bed. I still have the little white New Testament I got for memorizing the most verses in my class that year. So what?… Continue reading →

The Seeds of Biden’s Betrayal of Israel Were Planted A Long Time Ago

“The man to whom the Biden regime has given the responsibility of being its special representative for Palestinian affairs, a particularly important post during this war, has declared: “I was inspired by the Palestinian intifada.” Hady Amr has also said that Palestinian Arabs would “never, never forget what the Israeli people, the Israeli military, and Israeli democracy have done to Palestinian children….”

(Robert Spencer – PJ Media) Treasury Secretary Janet Yellen warned Israel on Thursday against cutting off Palestinian banks and spoke about the need to increase aid to Gaza, that is, Hamas, even further. Yellen’s words gained little attention, as the Biden regime’s betrayal of Israel is now old news…. Continue reading →

Legal Experts: The Trump Trial Jury Instructions Are Not Normal

Posted by ∙ ∙ In News ∙ , , , , ,

(Katie Pavlich – Townhall)  Closing arguments in the trial of former President Donald Trump in New York City, where he is charged with 34 felony counts of falsifying business records, have concluded and Judge Juan Merchan has given the jury their instructions. The instructions were given verbally and jurors won’t receive printed copies, although they can ask questions.

According to legal experts, Merchan’s standards for a conviction are abnormal and do not require jurors to reach a unanimous decision on the charges. Further, jurors don’t have to determine what crime was committed. Continue reading →

The Parousia of the Lord Jesus Christ

19 For who is our hope or joy or crown of exultation? Is it not even you, in the presence of our Lord Jesus at His coming? 20 For you are our glory and joy. (1 Thessalonians 2:19-20 NASB) 

19 For who is our hope or joy or crown of exultation—is it not even you—before our Lord Jesus, at His coming? 20  For you are our glory and joy.  (1 Thessalonians 2:19-20 translated from the NA28 Greek text)

In this post we will look at 1 Thessalonians 4:13-18 and attempt to unpack Paul’s statement about our Lord’s παρουσια or parousia. What we must never forget my brethren, Christianity is simply another religion if we ignore our Lord’s παρουσίᾳ. It is vital to our doctrines…. Continue reading →

Will the Real Extremist Please Stand Up

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , , , , , , ,

(Bill O’Reilly) It is apparent that the corporate media and the Democratic Party are working together to defeat Donald Trump any way possible.

You’ll notice I didn’t say they’ve partnered to reelect President Biden. Most media and democrats understand he is a terrible leader, but, as usual, they put their loathing for Trump ahead of what’s best for the country.

The Biden campaign theme is simple: Trump is an extremist, a threat to democracy.  Rinse and repeat. Over and over.

If someone follows false teachers or teaches false doctrine for a long time, is she saved?

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , , , , ,

Here are 2 similar questions left for Michelle Lesley in her email box:

I have heard pastors say that believers can sin for a ‘season’ without repentance. In regards to professing believers who follow false teachers, what is a ‘season’? Can they continue following them for months? Years?

Is it possible that someone who is a false teacher is actually saved? Could she truly believe the biblical gospel even though, for decades, she has been terribly mishandling God’s Word, and has been on an increasing trajectory of sin and false doctrine? Continue reading →

‘Fearless Army’ Host Jason Whitlock Affirms Mormon Glenn Beck as Christian Brother in Unearthed Videos

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion ∙ , , , , , , ,

Glenn Beck receiving a “mantle” from NAR heretic Chuck Pierce.

There are a gazillion reasons why Mormons, including Glenn Beck, are not Christians. Discerning Christians are fully aware that Mormonism is a pseudo-Christian cult. Clearly Jason Whitlock, who is well-meaning, is undiscerning and he’s unteachable to boot! For starters, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (Mormonism) deny fundamental Christian doctrine including the Trinity, and blatantly manipulate the scriptures to fit their own narrative. Moreover, they teach that salvation is by grace plus works. The Mormon Church teaches the outright heresy that people can become gods and goddesses which is a lie from the pit of hell. So how can Jason Whitlock believe Glenn Beck, who is a Mormon in good standing, is a “Christian brother”?  It is a fact that the Mormon Church teaches that God was once a man…who inhabited another planet…who became a God…and had a wife…and we all are literally born in heaven as spirit brothers and sisters and then inhabit human bodies on earth.

From the Church’s perspective, which is what really matters, a true believer will not deviate from the historic, orthodox teachings in the Bible, which is the Holy Spirit inspired Word of God. All pseudo-Christian cults, such as Mormonism, deny the essentials of the faith. Glenn Beck is fully aware of this. After reading Protestia’s piece and the Whitlock/Beck emails, return to CRN and read our white paper on Mormonism as it clearly lays out why Mormons are NOT Christians. Continue reading →

Remembering Our Fallen Soldiers

Posted by ∙ ∙ In Opinion

On this Memorial Day we want to say how thankful we are to those who serve in the armed forces and their families.  It is a time to honor and recognize the sacrifice of our fallen soldiers. To the men and women still serving, it is because of you that we sleep soundly at night.  Be safe and God bless you!

Most of the formative years of my Christian walk were spent in one church from February 1987 through February 2000.  During that time we had three pastors.  I was in some form of teaching for most of that time.
